This summer, Food Studio crossed the sea to bring a Nordic Get Away experience to the french capital. It was so much fun to go the the farmer's market in Paris in July with a lot of different vegetables and herbs that are hard to come by in Oslo. This time we tried to use the whole plant, which means the root, the fruit and the leaves, just like we learned in the herbology workshop. We planned five different dishes, but ended up with nine just by using as much as possible.

Beetroot salad with apple, coriander and sunflower seeds

500g small beetroots in different colors 1/2 sour apple

juice of 1/2 lemon

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar2 tbsp olive oil

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

salt and pepper

1 handful of sunflower seeds or oven baked barley

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Wash the beets and wrap them in aluminum foil. (Save the leaves for the beetroot leaves salad) Slide a baking sheet under the beets so that any fluid leaking from the packaged beets is collected. Bake the beets in the oven: +/- 30 minutes for smaller beets, 1 to 1.5 hour for larger beets. When the beetroot is cooked slips a sharp knife in easily. When done, let them cool slightly. Peel the warm beets and cut them into cubes of 1 to 2 cm.

Grill the sunflower seeds in a pan or in the oven. Cut the apple into small cubes of 0.3 to 0.5 cm and mix with the lemon juice. Mix the apples, red beet, sunflower seeds, white wijazijn, olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Ready!

Beetroot leaves salad with fennel and red onion

Two large hands beet leaves, chopped into large pieces 1 small fennel, chopped (* do not discard stems)

3 red chilli, finely chopped

1 red onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp mustard

Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onion with the chili and garlic until the onion starts to golden. Add the mustard. Add the beet leaves and stir occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

11 /2 pounds apricots, quartered and stones removed (4 tp 5 cups)

3 /4 cups granulated sugar

¼ cup packed light brown sugar

½ tsp kosher salt

3TBS potato starch

3 dashes angostura or Old Fashion Bitters

Demerara sugar for finishing

Have ready and refrigerated one pastry lined 9 inch pie pan and pastry round or lattice to top. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the prepared apricots to prevent browning. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated and brown sugars, cinnamon, salt and potato starch. Toss the sugar mixture with the apricots and bitters.

Meanwhile, position the oven racks in the botton and center position, place a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack, and preheat the oven to 215°C. Brush the pastry with the egg wash to coat, if your pie has a lattice top, be careful not to drag the filling onto the pastry (i twill burn). Sprinkle with the desired amount of demerara sugar. Place the pie on the rimmed baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is set and beginning to brown . Lower then oven tempretaure to 190°C, move the pie to the center oven rack, and continue to bake until the pastry is a deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling throughout, 30 to 35 minutes longer.
